The Budweiser Clydesdales Return in This Super Bowl Ad (Video)

A few months back, it was being reported that the Budweiser Clydesdaleswere being retired from future marketing efforts in order to appeal to younger viewers/drinkers. The whole thing was a hoax, and an inexplicable one at that. Who on earth starts a rumor that weird?

Anyway, the Budweiser Clydesdales never left, and all is right with the world. In fact, they’re back now for the Super Bowl in a cute ad that makes me want an ice cold beer even though it’s 10 AM as I write this. I’ll abstain, but it takes every ounce of discipline in my body.

Here’s the video:

Budweiser is now using the implied threat of horse violence to sell beer. And it’s pretty funny. If there were horses stationed in grocery stores everywhere, I would become brand loyal to Bud in a New York minute.
